US braces for more attacks in Kabul

Newsday

Available for over a year

President Biden has vowed that Islamic State militants responsible for killing thirteen US service personnel will pay for their actions. Ninety people, mostly Afghans, have died in the twin blasts at Kabul airport. We'll follow an Afghan woman - a prominent journalist, former MP and campaigner for women’s rights - as she attempts to leave the country. And a verdict is expected in the trial of Heinz-Christian Strache, the former president of the far-right Austrian Freedom Party, who is on trial on corruption charges.
